It traces the change to consumer-led design after a time of grim austerity and recovery from the war while the state and production considerations held sway when consumers \"couldn't afford taste\". The case studies of so-called frivolous items like the cocktail cabinet, the coffee table and the rise of DIY in the working-class homes of the \"new towns\" gives a flavor of the excitement and thrill they afforded designers, makers and consumers after the harsh deprivations of the war. -- .\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47904447987870,"sku":"ING-9780719063268","price":183.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9780719063268.jpg?v=1782453522","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9780719063268","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
